lyrics

First light coming in
Over the city now the day can begin
The darkest deeds of the night are all washing away with the sun

It all came to a head
You had a plan, but you chose him instead
You put your safety first, so young, when you didn’t understand

Where it would go
That uncanny ability to know
Now your life’s all rushing ahead
And they’re starting to make your bed
Before you’re ready to sleep

It all came at you so fast
Just had to hold on to what you thought would last
You took his name and a love you hoped you’d always get back

A couple years down the road
Maybe a kid and a career and so and so
The fire never died it just burned low for a while

And when the shit hit the fan
All he could talk about was wanting to be a man
Nobody wants or needs to hear the kind of thing ever again

Where did it go
That uncanny ability to know
Now your life’s all rushing ahead
And you’re starting to make your bed
Before you’re ready to sleep

And you told him to go
Younger tears and fears to follow
You through the years
But now you know
That you’ll always have another chance at first light

First light coming in
Over the city now the day can begin
You’ll never know less than you do right here at the start
